fs: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq to all the fs subsystem. The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

treewide: remove MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS
At this point MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS is misnamed for all folio users, and now that we remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, it's really the only "success" return value that the code uses and expects. Let's just get rid of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS completely and just use "0" for success.

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit

A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:
- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

- Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
- Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
delivery code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
scenarios finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
attributes are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
- Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
- Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
defines.
- Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
- Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
and fix up stale documentation links all over the place
- Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
straight forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
- Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
other clusters.
- Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

fs:aio: Remove TODO comment suggesting hash or array usage in io_cancel()
The comment suggests a hash or array approach to store the active requests. Currently it iterates through all the active requests and when found deletes the requested request, in the linked list. However io_cancel() isn’t a frequently used operation, and optimizing it wouldn’t bring a substantial benefit to real users and the increased complexity of maintaining a hashtable for this would be significant and will slow down other operation. Therefore remove this TODO to avoid people spending time improving this.

fs: Initial atomic write support
An atomic write is a write issued with torn-write protection, meaning that for a power failure or any other hardware failure, all or none of the data from the write will be stored, but never a mix of old and new data. Userspace may add flag RWF_ATOMIC to pwritev2() to indicate that the write is to be issued with torn-write prevention, according to special alignment and length rules. For any syscall interface utilizing struct iocb, add IOCB_ATOMIC for iocb->ki_flags field to indicate the same. A call to statx will give the relevant atomic write info for a file: - atomic_write_unit_min - atomic_write_unit_max - atomic_write_segments_max Both min and max values must be a power-of-2. Applications can avail of atomic write feature by ensuring that the total length of a write is a power-of-2 in size and also sized between atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max, inclusive. Applications must ensure that the write is at a naturally-aligned offset in the file wrt the total write length. The value in atomic_write_segments_max indicates the upper limit for IOV_ITER iovcnt. Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored. Add a type argument to kiocb_set_rw_flags() to allows reads which have RWF_ATOMIC set to be rejected. Helper function generic_atomic_write_valid() can be used by FSes to verify compliant writes. There we check for iov_iter type is for ubuf, which implies iovcnt==1 for pwritev2(), which is an initial restriction for atomic_write_segments_max. Initially the only user will be bdev file operations write handler. We will rely on the block BIO submission path to ensure write sizes are compliant for the bdev, so we don't need to check atomic writes sizes yet.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Free up FMODE_* bits. I've freed up bits 6, 7, 8, and 24. That
means we now have six free FMODE_* bits in total (but bit #6
already got used for FMODE_WRITE_RESTRICTED)
- Add FOP_HUGE_PAGES flag (follow-up to FMODE_* cleanup)
- Add fd_raw cleanup class so we can make use of automatic cleanup
provided by CLASS(fd_raw, f)(fd) for O_PATH fds as well
- Optimize seq_puts()
- Simplify __seq_puts()
- Add new anon_inode_getfile_fmode() api to allow specifying f_mode
instead of open-coding it in multiple places
- Annotate struct file_handle with __counted_by() and use
struct_size()
- Warn in get_file() whether f_count resurrection from zero is
attempted (epoll/drm discussion)
- Folio-sophize aio
- Export the subvolume id in statx() for both btrfs and bcachefs
- Relax linkat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) requirements
- Add F_DUPFD_QUERY fcntl() allowing to compare two file descriptors
for dup*() equality replacing kcmp()
Cleanups:
- Compile out swapfile inode checks when swap isn't enabled
- Use (1 << n) notation for FMODE_* bitshifts for clarity
- Remove redundant variable assignment in fs/direct-io
- Cleanup uses of strncpy in orangefs
- Speed up and cleanup writeback
- Move fsparam_string_empty() helper into header since it's currently
open-coded in multiple places
- Add kernel-doc comments to proc_create_net_data_write()
- Don't needlessly read dentry->d_flags twice
Fixes:
- Fix out-of-range warning in nilfs2
- Fix ecryptfs overflow due to wrong encryption packet size
calculation
- Fix overly long line in xfs file_operations (follow-up to FMODE_*
cleanup)
- Don't raise FOP_BUFFER_{R,W}ASYNC for directories in xfs (follow-up
to FMODE_* cleanup)
- Don't call xfs_file_open from xfs_dir_open (follow-up to FMODE_*
cleanup)
- Fix stable offset api to prevent endless loops
- Fix afs file server rotations
- Prevent xattr node from overflowing the eraseblock in jffs2
- Move fdinfo PTRACE_MODE_READ procfs check into the .permission()
operation instead of .open() operation since this caused userspace
regressions"

aio: Fix null ptr deref in aio_complete() wakeup
list_del_init_careful() needs to be the last access to the wait queue
entry - it effectively unlocks access.
Previously, finish_wait() would see the empty list head and skip taking
the lock, and then we'd return - but the completion path would still
attempt to do the wakeup after the task_struct pointer had been
overwritten.

fs/aio: Check IOCB_AIO_RW before the struct aio_kiocb conversion
The first kiocb_set_cancel_fn() argument may point at a struct kiocb
that is not embedded inside struct aio_kiocb. With the current code,
depending on the compiler, the req->ki_ctx read happens either before
the IOCB_AIO_RW test or after that test. Move the req->ki_ctx read such
that it is guaranteed that the IOCB_AIO_RW test happens first.

Revert "fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again"
Patch "fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again" is based on the
assumption that calling kiocb->ki_cancel() does not complete R/W requests.
This is incorrect: the two drivers that call kiocb_set_cancel_fn() callers
set a cancellation function that calls usb_ep_dequeue(). According to its
documentation, usb_ep_dequeue() calls the completion routine with status
-ECONNRESET. Hence this revert.

fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again
The following patch accidentally removed the code for delivering
completions for cancelled reads and writes to user space: "[PATCH 04/33]
aio: remove retry-based AIO"
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/1363883754-27966-5-git-send-email-koverstreet@google.com/)
>From that patch:
- if (kiocbIsCancelled(iocb)) {
- ret = -EINTR;
- aio_complete(iocb, ret, 0);
- /* must not access the iocb after this */
- goto out;
- }
This leads to a leak in user space of a struct iocb. Hence this patch
that restores the code that reports to user space that a read or write
has been cancelled successfully.

sysctl-6.8-rc1
To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
has had no time to help at all.

It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers
READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

aio: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in __get_reqs_available
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in __get_reqs_available. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. No functional change intended.

iov_iter work, part 1 - isolated cleanups and optimizations.
One of the goals is to reduce the overhead of using ->read_iter()
and ->write_iter() instead of ->read()/->write(); new_sync_{read,write}()
has a surprising amount of overhead, in particular inside iocb_flags().
That's why the beginning of the series is in this pile; it's not directly
iov_iter-related, but it's a part of the same work...
